Magento

OK - I solved this.  You HAVE TO delete the MySql database used for any previous Magento Install and recreate a new database fresh.

This solved the problem!
_____________________________________

While doing a fresh install of 1.0, after clicking CONTINUE on the page where the Database is defined, in Firefox I get a “REDIRECT LOOP” Error saying: Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

The URL I end up at under the error is:
http://www.moodandmind.com/index.php/install/index.php/install/index.php/install/index.php/install/index.php/install/index.php/install/index.php/install/index.php/install/index.php/install/index.php/install/index.php/install/index.php/install/index.php/install/index.php/install/index.php/install/index.php/install/index.php/install/index.php/install/index.php/install/index.php/install/?SID=a46a3655d2fc52351f0d977bd009d544

When I try to go back to the install, it just says the same thing.

In MSIE 7 - I get a basic “CANNOT DISPLAY THIS WEB PAGE” error.

If I actually type “install.php” instead of /install, I get this error from within Magento under MSIE 7 and Firefox:

Error in file: “/home/realstu5/public_html/moodandmind.com/app/code/core/Mage/Sendfriend/sql/sendfriend_setup/mysql4-install-0.7.0.php” - SQLSTATE[42S01]: Base table or view already exists: 1050 Table ‘sendfriend_log’ already exists

When I go to the root of the store (index.php), or the ADMIN I get the same exact errors.

Hopefully there is a way around this without deleting everything and reuploading the whole kit and kaboodle.

Please help!

Even if someone could tell me if there are some specific files I can delete and reupload, that would be great. It just takes a long while to reupload all the files.

I have tha same problem.i try to CMOD all the Directories And Subdirectories
http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/magento-installation-guide
and i get the same error

Paul: I’ve also tried several times.

I experience exactly the same problem as Paul.
What I did in SSH:
Downloaded with wget
tar -zxvf magento-1.0.tar.gz
cd magento
chmod o+w var var/.htaccess app/etc
chmod -R o+w media

Then started the installation on http://www.mydomain.com/magento

Entered all database info
Have tried with and without checking the box for apache/rewrite.
Clicked the button to continue…

Got the loop error. Same experience as Paul with MSIE/Firefox

Well, I feel a little bit better that I am not the only one with this issue.

I did have Magento working fine and dandy under the 7.14

My host is Midphase.com and they have verified that they have all the the recommended settings and variables in place.

I have gone ahead and deleted and reuploaded the files, but I’m not going to try the install again until I get an official response to this error.

I found this in another thread:
Anyone tried this?

I solved this problem.
I found an Thead with a tip of Mark_Kimsal. Thanks
Read the Thread

Just search for ‘SCRIPT_NAME’ in these files and change to ‘ORIG_SCRIPT_NAME’

Mage/Core/Model/Store.php
Mage/Core/Model/Config.php
Mage/Core/Model/Url.php
Mage/Core/functions.php

Well, this was for the 7.14 release back in January, so I’m thinking that this ain’t gonna do it.

Also, since the 7.14 release installed for me flawlessly, I’m thinking it’s not the issue.

Well, I got antsy with no official replies and tried the install again.

This time I did the install via MSIE 7.0, and it just keeps loading forever after the database page, but it’s the same reload loop through Firefox.

Please help Varien.

solved - see the original post.

I’m getting this error with a fresh installation of 1.0, and a freshly created database.  I created the db from the command line.  Any ideas?

In case this contains some clues, here’s exactly how I created the database:
$ mysql -uroot -p
mysql> create database magento;
mysql> use magento;
mysql> grant all on magento.* to ‘magento’@’localhost’ identified by ‘xxxxxxxxxx’;
mysql> create user magento;

Deleting the MySQL database did not work for me, and I do not have SSH access to be able to try the other method included in this thread.

What got me out of the loop, was on the 6th try, I used the Magento Downloader package and installed that via FTP, instead of the full release.
As for FTP, the clients I’ve used with greater success are Firefox’s FireFTP add-on and also Cyberduck, both of which allow you to change permissions not only to the root folder, but also the files and folders underneath them.

On this installation, I used Cyberduck, which lets you also set what the permissions should be for files you upload.  Here, I had mine set for 777 for folders and 644 for files.  Dropped the Downloader package on to my public_html folder and voila!  10 minutes later, a Magento installation that works!
